Gaza: Around 400,000 children in the Gaza Strip are showing symptoms of distress, including bed wetting, clinging to parents and nightmares, and need psychosocial support, the United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef) has said.

At least 429 children were killed in the last one month as a result of Israel's air strikes and shelling on Gaza where half of the population of 1.8 million people are under the age of 18, it stated.
